I had a lovely stay at this hotel, nestled in a beautiful area surrounded by lemon groves. The rooms were exceptionally clean and cozy, which made my stay very enjoyable. While the service was friendly and welcoming, the dining could use some improvement, particularly in breakfast variety. Overall, great location with decent amenities, making it good value for money.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which is nestled in a beautiful garden and really feels like a hidden treasure. The rooms were spacious and clean, providing great value for the price on the Amalfi Coast. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, though the dining options for breakfast left a bit to be desired. Overall, it's a cozy place away from the hustle and bustle, just inconveniently challenging to locate initially.

The hotel is tucked away in quiet back alleys, which can make it hard to find initially. However, it's perfectly positioned for those setting out to explore Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast, with easy access to the train station nearby.

The breakfast was simple, consisting of toast, cheese, and cold cuts. It did the trick, but it wasn't anything spectacular, leaning more towards sweet options than what I typically expect from a European breakfast.
Facilities

While the facilities were decent, there was nothing particularly standout. It's cozy but didn't have many extra features to make it feel luxurious.

I had a really nice stay at this hotel. The rooms were basic yet clean and I appreciated the air conditioning, especially during the hot weather. The staff was friendly and went out of their way to help us. The location was great for getting around, but finding it initially was a bit tricky. On the downside, the breakfast could use some improvement as it was quite limited.

I had a pleasant stay overall. The hotel is situated in a charming location, providing easy access to some great local restaurants, and the rooms were so cute and quaint. However, the dining options left a bit to be desired, and I found the breakfast to be quite basic. It was a good value for money, especially considering it's close to Sorrento's main transport hub and Pompeii.
